Season 466- If You Want Blood (You Got It)

For Season 466, ( " If you want blood, you've got it " which ,incidentally the tour of which by AC/DC I saw at a venue in Manchester, about 1979 )

Thanks for jarring my memory CeeJay - I saw them on the same tour - Pittsburgh Civic Arena - Scorpions opened, AC/DC was second, and Ted Nugent was the headliner. We went for AC/DC though and I remember leaving while the Nuge was still playing LOL
 
another slice of ham, via a homemade wannabe space rock song, with what i hope is a sufficiently doom-laden vocal, plus an echo-y sci-fi riff, and completely over the top vid clips from :bowdown: "they came beyond space"

 
"...now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw..."

 
A song about an old battlefield - "Laul verelilledest" (Song of Blood Flowers, 1973) by Gennadi Taniel and Helmi Karjaharm. With extreme delay and repeat effects, in Estonian.
 
Ahoy
I am not brave enough for a spectacle yet so, in the meantime, here is a song about blood... in a sense
 
This is a song by the New Pornographers. The "hey-la" part may sound familiar to Americans because it was used in a University of Phoenix commercial a few years ago.


 
THREE DAYS IN THE MAKING!

An EPIC Tale of Celtic Heroes bold!

Bloody fields of corpses!

A love story for the ages!


All of this and more if you can spare the eight minutes to listen to the full tale!

Inspired by Lord Byron's "The Death of Calmar and Orla" (and unashamedly nicking a few good lines) I bring you my longest video on Youtube.

Hope you thrill to:

 
A couple of numbers from Jim Yates really took me back a long time, Blood on the saddle I think was an old Tex Ritter number and when I was in a folk trio here in UK I would do this while the others were tuning up as it was short and suited my poor vocal quality! The Sick Note was an old Dubliners number which I learnt from some Irish pipelayers who worked for us,pay day meant a visit to the Irish club in Leeds before their wives got to their pay packet,oh happy days
 
I thought perhaps a bit of silliness was in order. Or, maybe, some cooling off after all these exertions...

"Mud, mud, glorious mud, nothing quite like it for cooling the blood."



Feel free to join in for the last chorus. I did :).

Thank you for the nice comment on Jim's work here. Great tunes from that deep well of songs!
 
Bloody well right!

We are up to date with the playlist and the hits keep on coming!

Just as a matter of housekeeping, please be advised that Supertramp is one of those bands that patrol YouTube and take down videos and deliver copyright strikes against unsolicited use of their songs. If you want to cover one of their songs, try to do it on the sly....
 
Feeling a little passionate about this gospel tune written by Willie Nelson.....
